J.K. Rowling Just Revealed the Name and Location of the American Hogwarts

Big news for North American Muggles (or should we say No-Majs): J.K. Rowling just spilled the beans on the Hogwarts-like school that American witches and wizards go to in the world of the Harry Potter books. Apparently, it's called Ilvermorny, and according to a map of the school on Rowling's website Pottermore, appears to be located in either the northeastern United States or southeastern Canada. We're excited to announce Ilvermorny is the name of the North #American wizarding school! https://t.co/wZOnSwczyW pic.twitter.com/YvjFjSVz7b— Pottermore (@pottermore) January 30, 2016 More information about Ilvermorny is apparently coming soon (it may figure into the upcoming film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which at least partially takes place in New York City), but Rowling did reveal the locations of other magical schools around the globe. As a refresher, in the Harry Potter books, you learn about Hogwarts (located in Scotland), Beauxbatons (on the border of France and Spain), and Durmstrang (located somewhere in Northern Europe). But there are, apparently, eight additional large wizarding schools, four of which Rowling finally provided details for yesterday, including Ilvermorny. The other three Rowling revealed include Brazilian school Castelobruxo (where the castle is guarded by Caipora), the African school
